Speaker: Nancy Dufresne

Episode Overview

In this episode, Pastor Nancy Dufresne delivers an impassioned message during the DM Miracle Crusade in Phoenix, Arizona, centered around the prophetic word she received: “It’s time for miracles.” Nancy calls believers to recognize and respond to a divinely appointed season for miracles, emphasizing not just the personal reception of God’s power, but also the responsibility to minister that power to others. The episode blends scriptural teaching, prophetic insight, practical advice, personal anecdotes, and moments of active ministry—including words of knowledge and healing demonstrations—to prepare and activate listeners for a greater flow of miracles.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Prophetic Decree: “It’s Time for Miracles”

• Nancy recounts a word from God given to her in September 2019, declaring, “It’s time for miracles.”
• Emphasis: This is not a mere slogan, but a heaven-sent decree signaling a new emphasis, increased anointing, and open window for miracles.
• God requires our participation; He needs “flesh” (our bodies and willingness) to manifest miracles on earth. (00:20)
• Quote:
  • “He made us a great deal. He says, tell you what, you give me your flesh, I’ll give you my spirit…What a deal.” (03:40)

2. Miracles Are a Flow of God’s Love

• Healing and miraculous works are expressions of Jesus’ love for humanity.
• God wants believers to demonstrate miracles outside church walls—into communities, businesses, and families—so people know they are loved. (06:00)
• Quote:
  • “Healing is a flow of the love of Jesus. When people are healed, they know they’re loved.” (06:13)

3. Dual Focus: Receiving and Ministering Miracles

• God desires both for believers to receive miracle power and to minister it to others.
• Faith has two directions: receiving and giving (ministering) (07:24)
• Personal story: Nancy shares her journey of learning that focusing solely on one's own needs neglects the call to be a supply for others. (09:30)
• Quote:
  • “Your faith is never meant to just bless you and no more. Your faith is meant to bless you, but it’s also meant to be a blessing to someone else…” (08:57)

4. Skillfulness in the Things of God

• Miraculous power’s flow depends not just on God’s will or anointing but on the skillfulness of God’s people.
• Nancy stresses becoming “skillful” with what God says it’s time for—miracles—rather than being careless or complacent. (13:30)
• Notable illustration: Jesus’s rebuke to her late husband Ed Dufresne, “You’re not being skillful with the healing anointing…” (22:30)
• Quote:
  • “You don’t need to pray for God to send miracles…He’s already sent power…It’s about us becoming skillful so that he can do something through us.” (26:00)
  • “Well done, thou good and faithful servant…This word ‘good’ is skillful. So we could say it this way: Well done, thou skillful and faithful servant.” (15:25)

5. Hunger vs. Ruts in Receiving and Ministering

• Miracles are not automatic; they are “in the air” but require a skillful, hungry, and responsive people.
• Listeners are urged to practice on their own lives daily—“Practice on you”—and stop putting up with things that aren’t God’s best. (37:52)
• The greatest anointing in the earth: the corporate anointing of the body of Christ (29:14)
• Oral Roberts quote:
  • “Every day, miracles are coming to you or going past you. Every day.” (29:16)
• Skill is connected to a call and hunger; “God answers hunger.”
  • “The gifts of the spirit don’t operate because you pray for them. They operate because you’re hungry for them. And it’s teaching that makes people hungry.” (53:00)

6. Biblical & Prophetic Examples

• The story of Blind Bartimaeus illustrates wholehearted faith—his desperate, persistent call brought Jesus to a halt and secured his miracle. (31:20)
• The teaching references prophecies from Kenneth Hagin’s “I Believe in Visions”:
  • The last great revival will have all gifts of the Spirit in operation with unprecedented miracles—even those not recorded in the Bible. (41:00)
  • Miracles may come in ways not seen before, but “first-time” miracles line up with a biblical pattern of new moves of God. (44:13)

7. Instructions for Ministers and Churches

• Local churches and believers must be a voice for healing and miracles in their communities, not just waiting on special events or guest ministers. (46:42)
• Be led by the Spirit—do not get stuck in routine (a ‘rut’) just because “that’s the way it’s always been done” (52:50).
• Pastors and individuals are encouraged to broaden their vision and not limit their impact to particular groups, languages, or traditions. (71:23)

8. Active Ministry and Healing Demonstrations (~54:55–70:00)

• Words of knowledge are given for specific healings:
  • Elbow pain (56:05)
  • Pain at the base of the skull (57:04)
  • Conditions in the throat, ears, eyes, feet, hips, back—and more
• Attendees are called to actively respond to the word, moving their bodies, praising God, and exercising faith—even if the manifestation is not instantaneous.
• Encouragement not to “limit God to the instantaneous and miss the supernatural” (61:05)
• Powerful testimony illustrating the key role of praise in sustaining healing:
  • “Praising drives back symptoms…when we’re silent, the devil thinks, ‘their faith is inactive.’ People of faith are praising people.” (63:21)

9. Fresh Anointing for Ministers & Commissioning

• Nancy prays for pastors present, declaring a fresh anointing, renewed revelation, and a mark on their ministries for God’s plan in their regions. (68:46)
• A prophetic word advises not to limit one’s reach or ministry, e.g., only to Spanish-speaking audiences, but to embrace the fullness of God’s assignment. (71:23)

10. Invitation & Testimonies

• An altar call is given for salvation, rededication, and baptism in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues; one woman responds and is ministered to publicly. (74:43–78:09)
• Attendees are encouraged to share testimonies of healing, as declaring one’s miracle stirs faith in others. (81:14)
